Welcome to
Digital Universal Buddhist Dictionary
Introduction
It was my dream to have a digital Buddhist dictionary. I had been working hard to make the dream came true. Every effort, I tried, encountering countless failures. It was really hard for me as I had no any background in any known program language. I just ventured from one programming language to another. Last year, I was able to make the dream true. I was happy enough as I could see the digital Buddhist dictionary. However, the dictionary was quite slow in loading. I tried my best to find the way to make changes so that the dictionary would be working faster. Finally, I could make improvement in the dictionary. Even though, I am still looking for a better dictionary than this one. I hope that I would be able to make a better dictionary in the near future.
Database for the Dictionaries:
All the dictionaries available in the database were downloaded from internet. Pāli-English Dictionary (P.T.S) was downloaded from Digital Dictionaries of South Asia; Dictionary Pāli Proper Names was downloaded from Pali Canon; Concise Pāli-English Dictionary and English Pāli Dictionary were downloaded from Buddhanet. Most of the dictionaries were downloaded some time back. At the moment, there had been some changes especially the diacritical marks. I wish that I would be able to present the dictionary with the present update.
